]]>Through a promotion running from May 1 to September 30, T-Mobile is offering wireless subscribers a season-long premium subscription to MLB At Bat. With At Bat, you can access the scores and latest news from all of the games taking place across the country, plus stream the At Bat “Game of the Day.”

This is all thanks to T-Mobile being MLB’s official wireless partner, which is a big bonus for any MLB fans on the network. Premium subscriptions cost $20 for the entire season, so I do suggest that you take advantage of this offer.

Features

Stream the MLB.TV Game of the Day (blackout restrictions apply)

Track every pitch

Watch in-game highlights

Access live look-ins on key plays

Tomorrow, grab the app from Google Play while on your T-Mo cell data. Make sure not to be on WiFi or roaming.

]]>MLB fans, it’s time to get amped for the upcoming baseball season. To celebrate, MLB has released an updated version of the At Bat application, just in time to track stats, keep an eye on Spring Training news, and much more.

In the update, At Bat has received a massive overhaul, complete with Material Design guidelines and a new UI for all 30 team pages. For phones, the league-wide scoreboard has also received a facelift, which should allow for better consuming of all the current MLB scores during the season.

]]>This week, a game for all of the baseball fans out there hit Google Play, titled RBI Baseball 14. With licenses from MLB, you get to play as your favorite teams and players, trying to blast home runs and turn double plays.

The game’s description states you can play a full nine inning game in under 20 minutes, which seems quite impressive if you have a short attention span. In addition, players are advised to use the game’s real-world stats to create the perfect match ups, in an attempt to create a more realistic baseball simulation. To top it all off, players can compete to unlock retro jerseys, which will add a special flare to your gaming.

The game costs you $5 on Google Play, but you will be happy to know that the game features no IAPs. Go Giants!

]]>As hardcore baseball fans who are also on T-Mobile should know by now, much like last year, the carrier is offering a free subscription to the MLB At Bat application. For regular folks who are not on T-Mobile, the usual process is much more expensive. First, you can either pay for the app and its Premium features outright for $19.99 at the beginning of the season or you can sign up for a monthly subscription (which is new this year) for $2.99 a month.

On the downside, however, streaming games is not part of that package. Total ripoff, right? In order to stream games, you will need an MLB.TV subscription, which is about $24.99 a month to access games on all of your devices. Although, with a MLB.TV subscription, it comes with At Bat Premium bundled for your phone, so if you need your baseball fix on the daily, then a MLB.TV subscription is the way to go.

For T-Mobile customers, they are lucky, and are getting MLB At Bat Premium for completely free from now until September 30. It’s a pretty solid deal for baseball fans who are not up for dropping $25 a month for streaming games.

T-Mobile has yet to confirm the actual details of the deal, but we will update this post when they do so.

]]>Google announced that the official At Bat application from Major League Baseball will receive Chromecast support today, allowing baseball fans the opportunity to stream games right to their big screen.

From any Android device that is currently running a Premium subscription to MLB.TV ($24.99, I believe), simply slap the Cast button found on the video, and off you will be. While the game is playing, you can use your phone as a second screen, checking scores and stats from around the league, getting the most out of your baseball time.

The At Bat app should see an update today with the new feature, so keep your eyes peeled.

]]>Only 34 more days until the MLB’s Opening Day comes. Although if you are an owner of the MLB.com Android application, you probably knew that. Either way, you will be excited to hear that the MLB.com app recieved an update today with even more upgrades and changes promised to come in the near future.

Today’s changelog may not be that long, but the two additions are certainly a steal. The first allows users to select more than one favorite team. While this might sound blasphemous to some baseball fans, it is a welcome change for others. The other addition is push notifications to your device for every scoring play of whichever team you choose, and it can be more than one.

These are the changes to the application that are going live today, but there is a list of 10 more additions that MLB.com hopes to add before Opening Day comes around. If you are a MLB.TV Premium subscriber this app comes free of charge, but if you haven’t paid yet you can sign up for the whole 2014 season for just $19.99. Not a bad deal if you plan on using this app to watch your favorite team throughout the season.

The update is rolling out to users now, so check Google Play to see if you can pull it down.

]]>Don’t lie to yourself. When you were a kid, you know you wanted to be a pro baseball player. Given that most of our dreams did not come true (obviously), MLB has created a game called Franchise MVP that will allow you to live your dream ball-playing vicariously through your phone.

Game Features

Build your skills, master any position on the field and reach success. Equip your player with the best gear, boosts and train him up!

Jump into the action with intuitive tap and swipe controls for batting, pitching, and fielding mini-games. Easy to pick up, hard to put down with hours and hours of deep gameplay!

In the game, you create your very own player, and from there, you build his strengths in batting and throwing to become one of the best players in the league. There are dedicated sections int he game to improve your player’s abilities, such as running and fielding. With better abilities, your in-game plays will be much better, given you have improved skills. The more clutch hits and plays you make, the more highly you are ranked. Again, the game is all about being the best of the best. Or as Ricky Bobby would say, “If you’re not first, you’re last.”

The game is free to download right from Google Play, so go check it out before you take for your Thanksgiving vacation.

]]>

MLB’s All Star Week kicks off tonight with the Home Run Derby. To celebrate, the MLB launched an official Home Run Derby app to Google Play today, letting players take control of today’s hottest hitters. The game features some pretty sweet graphics and for being free, is actually quite fun to play.

There is an arcade mode, which allows for you to go into a time attack mode, then also the classic derby mode which is more of like what you would see on TV tonight. There is a global leaderboard, so challenging friends and others is also an added bonus.

As I mentioned, it’s free on Google Play, so go check it out and let’s go team National!

]]>

We are nearing the half way mark for the MLB season, meaning it’s not too late for them to push out new features for the official At Bat 13 app on Android. Inside the update, which is numbered version 2.3.0, fancy push notifications can be set for whichever team you would like, allowing for pings on when games start/end, there is a lead change and also when there are video highlights.

In addition, support for the All Star Week has been added, allowing subscribers to watch the game live and also track the bombs during the Home Run Derby. It should be a fun week.

What’s New:

Customize At Bat push notifications for your favorite teams. Create notifications for Game Start, Lead Change, Game End and Team News. At Bat 13 subscribers also can choose Condensed Games and video highlights (video highlights requires OS 3.0 or later)

Follow All-Star Week live, including the 2013 Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game

Supports Ford Sync equipped vehicles

Well, let’s hear some predictions for who will win the All Star game and who will be crowned at the Home Run Derby. Go!

I don’t know about all of you, but my San Francisco Giants are killing it in their division, which means we can almost taste the playoffs this year. And as the season starts coming to its close, the official MLB At Bat application has been lowered down from a full $10 to the price of just $3.99. For those who have been waiting for the right time to strike on this app, this might be it.

With the paid version you can watch highlights, in-progress videos, and much more, making the $4 worth it if following some pitch-by-pitch text field isn’t good enough.

]]>

Baseball fans, the season openers are right around the corner. It’s now time to start getting ready with the official MLB At Bat 2012 application. Stay on top of your favorite teams no matter what city they are in with the ability to watch videos, listen to games, and track all the stats of your favorite franchises. Many argue about the $15 price tag, but that is just the name of the game when it comes to these officially licensed applications.

For those not looking to spend that much, last season they introduced the ‘Lite‘ version of At Bat, which suits most people just fine. Ice Cream Sandwich is supported, so Galaxy Nexus owners should have no problems putting this app through the paces. Let’s play ball!

Now this is the type of application I need to see, as my SF Giants need to put in some serious work to have a repeat of last year. At Bat ’11 is the must have app for all baseball lovers as we’re getting closer to the postseason. The application once ran $15 last year, then they dropped it to $7 and there it has stayed. And now you can grab it for free thanks to Amazon.

At Bat ’11 lets users follow their favorite teams, watch videos, and read plenty of analyst’s opinions. All in all, the app is fantastic – so if you haven’t already purchased it, go pick it up now.
